We are now also on @LinkedIn for the @HengGroup group at @ImperialChemEng at @imperialcollege Please do connect - linkedin.com/in/heng-resear…

✨ New Year, New Start! ✨ The @HengGroup is moving to where the sky is blue – Bluesky, that is! 🦋 Join us on our new platform: @henggroup.bsky.social Thank you for your support here on Twitter. Looking forward to connecting under bluer skies! 👇bsky.app/profile/henggr…

From the @HengGroup we wish you a Merry Christmas and a great New Year! 🎄✨

Huge congratulations to @enshuliang & @IshaBade for passing their PhD vivas last week! Enshu investigated glycine-dipeptide crystallisation and Isha explored crystal regeneration post-breakage. Big thanks to examiners @yanghuaiyu, Koon-Yang Lee, @elena_simone_ & @hankin_anna🎉👏

Congratulations to Chen Yongze for successfully completing his PhD Late Stage Review (LSR) on the mechanochemical synthesis of peptides last week! Thanks to Dr Salvador Eslava for acting as assessor. Very well done!👏👏

Many congratulations to Deniz Etit for presenting three talks at the @ChEnected #AIChEAnnual #AIChE2024 on crystal regeneration 💎, shape engineering 🧑🏼‍🔬, and sustainable surface chemistry ♻️!

Many congratulations @PessinaDaniele for presenting a talk and a poster on your work on protein crystallisation modelling and template-induced crystallisation @ChEnected #AIChEAnnual #AIChE2024. Vey well done👏👏 @Papathan_Lab @ImperialChemEng

Huge congratulations to Angeliki Chalasti (@a_chalasti) for presenting two talks on her PhD research on particle properties and flow behaviour of zeolites at the @ChEnected #AIChEAnnual #AIChE2024! Great work - well done 👏🎉@ImperialChemEng

Our @HengGroup had an incredible week in San Diego at @ChEnected #AIChEAnnual #AIChE2024! 🎉👏 Filled with amazing science, insightful presentations, and great moments with friends and colleagues. @a_chalasti @PessinaDaniele Deniz Etit @MingxiaGuo @JYYHeng

Excited to share @HengGroup will be at #AIChEAnnual 2024 in San Diego! 🎉Join us for insightful talks on topics like zeolite properties & powder flow, pharmaceutical crystallisation and sustainable chemistry. Presentation details👇 @a_chalasti @PessinaDaniele Deniz Etit @JYYHeng

Welcome Lok Hang Wong to @HengGroup! Lok graduated from @ImperialChemEng MEng in 2022 & looks forward to returning as a PhD student after working for a while in industry. His PhD focuses on using process modelling to accelerate the adoption of crystallisation to purify peptides.

Hi from our interns Amirul Irfan, @Harshiny11 & Nufail 🇲🇾. Amirul (@utm_my) works on crystallisation of biopharmaceuticals, @Harshiny11 (@MJIITOFFICIAL @utm_my) on the partial purification of tyrosinase & Nufail (@utm_my) assists Dr Colin Hale at the Carbon Capture Pilot Plant.

Congratulations to our MSc students, Abu Ayub Husaifa Al-Hassan, Abdulrahman Alsayed, Nico Fradera, and Ihsaan Furlonge, for their poster presentations on Friday! We hope you enjoyed your research time with @HengGroup, and we wish you the best in your future endeavours. 👏

Congratulations @ishabade @vikramkarde for the latest publication: Process-Induced Crystal Surface Anisotropy & the Impact on the Powder Properties of Odanacatib, with scientists from @Merck (S. Axnanda, L. Schenck, B. Chen, M. Figus, @MarinaSolomos) 👇mdpi.com/1999-4923/16/7…

Hi, I am Karolína Slonková, an MSc student from UCT Prague @vscht working with the @HengGroup at @ImperialChemEng. My 2-month internship is focused on the regeneration of APIs‘ crystals in common-use solvents.

Many congratulations to @KSeanneng on successfully defending her PhD Thesis on investigating the sorption phenomena of free fatty acids using the Quartz Crystal Microbalance & being awarded her PhD degree with Dr Fan Zhang & Prof @RongjunChen as assessors! Greatly proud of you!👏

Huge congratulations to @errington_ethan on successfully defending his PhD Thesis on Life Cycle Assessment of Silica-derived Adsorbents & being awarded his PhD degree with Dr Keeran Ward & Prof Camille Petit @Petit_Group as assessors! Very proud of you!👏 @BiorenewableLab

Hi, I am Hirokatsu Yoshioka, an IROP student from TokyoTech @tokyotech_en and a second-year master's student, conducting research @HengGroup. My research focuses on understanding the effect of crystal orientation on the regeneration of paracetamol.

Hi from our UROP @ImperialChemEng students, @NemoWang301 & @AhmadAdaaam. Qianxiang is an upcoming year 4 undergrad from 🇨🇳 researching regeneration phenomena of cleaved crystals. Adam is a year 2 undergrad from 🇲🇾 analysing solubility & crystal habits of protected amino acids.

Hello, I am Ihsaan Furlonge, a Chemical Engineering MSc student at the @HengGroup @ImperialChemEng. My research focuses on design space exploration of templated crystallisation, a case study on lysozyme. I am also an avid powerlifter, martial artist, and cat lover.
